How L&D can change organisations.
The more organisations focus on the learning and development
(L&D) of their employees, the more they stand to benefit in the long run.
As per the
laws of human life, people enter the workforce once they complete their
education. As a result, it is only natural for them to think that their
education is over but they are mistaken; their real education, in fact, is just
starting. Theoretical knowledge just helps to get one started. Real-life ground
experience is what true learning is. Organisations, in addition to being
productive places of work, are the real-life B-Schools.
The more
organisations focus on the learning and development (L&D) of their
employees, the more they stand to benefit in the long run. It's an investment
that would pay off when the workers know they craft better than anyone and
contribute their honed talents to better the bottom lines. Plus, if you're worried
about your employee retention, rest assured once you put an effective learning
roadmap in place the retention rate is going to improve drastically. Employees
know that they add immense value to the output of their organisation; it is
only fair that the workplace contributes towards their learning and
development.
In light of
this, we have seen investment in leadership development, and L&D as a whole
has grown over the last two or three years. While this is a good head start,
organisations still have a long way to go in terms of L&D. Currently, the
major challenge facing L&D service providers comes in the form of business
metrics. Organisations need to see return on investments and hence they are
constantly asking to show impact of L&D programs and how it changes the
business outcomes. The need of the hour is for L&D service providers to
step up their game to show the impact their programmes will have on the overall
business.

Kohler India redefines learning through
Kohler Radio and Learning Wallet
These new internal initiatives for
interaction and effective learning have made news globally.
Technology has
disrupted every aspect of modern workplaces and its influence on learning
methodologies has been significant. It’s no news that traditional learning is
shifting towards anytime, anywhere, any device learning. Taking into account
the need for bite-sized content and the increasingly short attention spans,
Kohler India came up with the unique concept of Kohler Radio.
Kohler Radio is an
IVR-enabled learning platform, wherein audio messages are recorded and relayed
in the form of a call to individual mobile phones, which the participants can
listen to, take part in, learn and get assessed through a few objective
questions asked after each session.
The purpose behind
launching Kohler Radio was to make training and engagement content effortless,
fun, essentially millennial-ready and to have a new-age platform to deploy
content. As Pankaj K Rai, director-HR, India & Sub-Saharan Africa, Kohler
K&B says, bite-sized content disseminated in a fun manner is the way to go
forward.
Furthermore, Kohler
Radio-Training Podcast System, which recently relayed its first session with
the second one lined up for this Friday, was conceptualised to be used as a
tool for internal training. This system allows leaders and audiences to listen
and interact. The communication machine has features of automated voice
calling, texting and inbound call management. The system is also supported with
Interactive Voice Response, Outbound Dialer and Mobile SMS facility.
There are three things
which get podcasted twice a month:
